The present invention 10 discloses a fishing rod holder harness comprising a harness member, with straps 20, 22, body pad member 24 and a fishing rod holder member 18. The harness member is comprised of a waist strap 20 and a bandoleer-like shoulder strap 22, each having buckle elements 26 for adjusting the fit to the user 12. The body pad member 24 is comprised of a substantially planar element having a plurality of apertures 46 for threading the straps 20, 22 therethrough and for fastening the fishing rod holder 18 thereto. The fishing rod holder 18 is comprised of a substantially U-shaped tube having apertures 46 whereby the fishing rod holder member 18 can be securely fastened to the body pad member 24 using appropriate fasteners 34. The U-shaped tube element has oppositely opposed apertures 46 for positioning a compression locking member 30 therethrough. The compression-locking member 30 has a shaft element 44 having a pivotally attached L-shaped lever 42 on one distal end and threads 36 on the other. A spring 32 is positioned between the oppositely opposed apertures 46 of the U-shaped tube element for passing the shaft element therethrough. An appropriate fastener 34 is attached to the end of the shaft element, thereby providing a method for increasing or decreasing the gap between the sides 38, 40 of the holder 18.
